Focus on the
Journalism. We'll
Handle the Production.
Professional newspaper pagination, ad design, and layout services for community publishers. We hit your deadlines so you can grow your readership.
Stop Wrestling With
InDesign on
Deadline Night.
Running a community newspaper is a constant balancing act between selling ads, covering local news, and managing distribution. Layout and production shouldn't be the bottleneck keeping you at the office until midnight.
At CLR Digital, we act as your remote production department. Whether you publish a weekly broadsheet, a monthly tabloid, or a specialized magazine — we deliver clean, professional layouts ready for the press.
And because most pagination services are either expensive or outsourced overseas, our advantage is simple: we're a US-based partner who understands your workflow, speaks your language, and answers the phone when deadlines are on the line.
Everything from Front Page
to Final PDF
Full-service production support tailored to the rhythm and demands of community publishing.
Full-Issue Pagination
From the front page to the sports section, we take your edited text, photos, and ad manifest and transform them into a polished publication. We follow your specific style guide — fonts, headers, and spacing — so your paper looks exactly the way your readers expect.
- Seamless workflow — you upload content, we build pages
- Press-ready PDFs in CMYK or Grayscale per your printer's specs
- Bleed, crop marks, and pre-flight checks included
- Fast turnaround — because "late" isn't an option in this industry
Graphic Design & Ad Building
Help your sales team say "yes." Nothing slows down production like waiting for client artwork. We provide spec-ad design and high-quality creative services so your sales team can close deals without holding up the press.
- Business card ads to full-page creative concepts
- All images at 300 DPI, properly formatted for newsprint
- Camera-ready art delivered to spec every time
- Revision rounds included until approved
Special Sections & Tabs
Revenue boosters made easy. Graduation tabs, Holiday Gift Guides, and "Best Of" inserts are huge revenue drivers — but a nightmare to produce in-house. We handle the heavy lifting so you can sell the space without worrying about the workload.
- Graduation & Senior Spotlights sections
- Holiday Gift Guides and seasonal tabs
- "Best Of" and community recognition inserts
- Full design from flatplan to press-ready file
Make Your Print Edition
Work Harder.
Because CLR Digital specializes in web development and mobile apps, we don't just stop at the PDF. We can extend the life and reach of every issue you publish.
Convert your final print PDF into a flip-book style e-edition for your website — giving digital subscribers the full print experience online.
Push your PDF directly to your custom mobile app, giving subscribers instant access on their phones the moment the issue is approved.
Need a modern news website to go with your print product? We design and build WordPress-powered news platforms built for community publishers.
A Workflow Built
for Publishers.
We integrate seamlessly with your editorial team. No new systems to learn — just a clean, reliable handoff that fits the way you already work.
Cost Efficiency
No full-time salary, benefits, or software licensing for an in-house designer. You pay for the work you need — nothing more.
Reliability
We don't call in sick on press day. We have the infrastructure to ensure your paper goes out on time, every time — without exception.
US-Based Communication
We're in your time zone. When you have a breaking news change on the front page at 4pm, you can reach us immediately.
Print + Digital Under One Roof
Unlike a freelance paginator, we also handle your website, mobile app, and e-edition — one partner for your entire media operation.
Permanent Partner or
Emergency Coverage —
We're Ready.
Whether you need a long-term production partner or emergency coverage for a vacationing designer, we're ready to step in and keep your publication on schedule.
